cooking on wood

Nice weather at last, but the air is still very cold – and so we have been doing our outdoor eating at lunchtime.

With new chicken plans afoot, we are making new pens, and adapting an outbuilding to be a hen house. And it is nothing, whilst there pootling about, to light and tend a wood fired barbecue. It does need a little more planning – perhaps a couple of hours from lighting to cooking, but it works so well, the taste is great and the wood is a resource we have.

Seating and table arrangements made out of scrap wood and logs, and we have some food in the sun.
